However, I think SB owners should actually learn from this experience, as opposed to letting the consultant do the entire job. Instead of letting a consulting company set up their accounts, and manage their content strategy, I think SB owners should insist on learning the fundamentals of SMM, such as how to find your own voice when blogging, or how to present yourself on Twitter (of course there are many other components). I liked reading your article. I think it emphasizes a need in this evolving IM industry. Rena,

I recently wrote about a similar theme, because not everyone necessarily 'gets' what I do, so I decided to share all. Social media consultants who have a wealth of experience are very valuable. It's my strong recommendation that companies invest in a dedicated resource in order to strategically and operationally grow their social media and marketing activities.
